MARIE DEHAYES, or PARIS, FRANCE.

BUTTON FOR SLEEVES on OTHERARTICLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 413,315, dated October 22, 1889.

Application filed January 14, 1889. Serial No. 296,244. (No model.) 7

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARIE DEHAYES, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing in the city of Paris, in said Republic, have invented a new and 'nseful Improvement in Buttons for Sleeves or other Articles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the'accompanying drawings.

I will first describe my invention with reference to the drawings, and then point out its novelty in claims.

Figures 1 and 2 are side views at right angles to each other of a button constructed according to my invention. Fig. 3 is a back view of the same. Fig. 4 represents a central section parallel with Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a front view of the bottom with the face removed.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in the several figures.

The principal parts of the button are a plate b, which forms the base of the buttonhead; a post 0, which is intended to be received in two button-holes of the sleeve, cuff,

or other article; a cross-bar (Z, which forms the back of the button, and a pin a, to which both the base I) and cross-bar d are rigidly secured, the said pin passing through the post central thereto and lengthwise thereof and being capable of turning therein. The base I) may be covered by an ornamental cap I), which forms the face of the button, or be fitted with a stone or otherwise covered or ornamented as may be desired.

The post 0 is of a flattened form in its transverse section to enter the button-holes. In both examples represented the transverse .section is of substantially elliptical form.

(See Fig. 3.) Near its rear end it is slotted transversely inward of the outer end of the post 0, as shown at d, to receive within it the crossbar (Z. The said post is firmly secured to a circular plate 0 in any suitable manner, as by a rivet c Said plate is situated within a circular recess formed in the back of the base I). The post 0 and the plate 0 are prevented from being detached from the base I) by the pin a. p

The several parts being assembled as above described, the base 19, the pin a, and the crossbar 01 are capable of turning together relatively to the post 0 and the plate 1;, the plate proper central relation to each other.

0 serving to assist in keeping the partg liln e turning movement of the base I) and its attached parts relatively to the post 0 is limited to a quarter-revolution by means of a projection 0 provided on the post 0, passing through an arc-shaped opening 0 provided in the base I). This opening is represented in Fig. 5 as concentric with the pin a and base I). To the face of the base I? there is firmly secured by rivets f a spring f, which spring is adapted to secure the projection c at either end of the opening 0 into which said projection may. be moved, thus, together with the ends ot the opening 0 acting as a'stop to limit the rotation of the bar cl beyond a quarter-turn in either direction. In rotating the bar (Z the projection 0 passes beneath a projection f on the spring f,thus raising the spring 5 but when the projection c has passed beyond the projection f in either direction the latter is sprung downwardly behind the projection 0 thus acting as a stop, as previously described. The cross-bar (Z is thus held in a position crosswise of the post 0, as shown in Fig. 3, or in a position parallel therewith, in which it lies entirely within the slot d of the post, according to the direction in which the pin a has been rotated. In Figs. 4 and 5 this spring f isrepresented as in the form of a ring. The ring-spring f is secured upon one side only.

hen the cross-bar d is brought within the post, the post may be easily inserted within the button-holes, and after its insertion the I turning of the button head will turn the cross-bar (Z across the button-hole and so secure it, the bar being kept across the length of the button-hole by reason of the flattened form of the post, which prevents the latter from turning in the button-holes. By placing the bar cl also within a slot d, which is inward of the outer end of the post a, the latter cannot be canted in the direction of the length of the holes, so as to move one end of the post 0 out of the button-holes.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, in a button, of a fiattened post having in it a transverse slot arranged wholly inward of the end thereof and extending in the direction of greatest width of the post, a pin arranged centrally and longitudinally within said post to turn therein, a button-head fast on one end of the said pin, and a cross-bar fast on said pin within the slot of the post and adapted to lie either Within the said slot or crosswise of the post, the outer end of the post extending over said cross-bar, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.

2. The combination, in a-button, of a flattened post having in it a transverse slot arranged wholly inward of the end thereof and extending in the direction of greatest Width of the post, a pin arranged centrally and longitudinally Within said post to turn therein, a

cross-bar fast on said pin near one end thereof and ithin the said slot in the post, a buttonhead on the other end of said pin, having in it Witnesses.
